LS rods and CTR pistons. Wait, K20A2 rods and K24 pistons.
Make that H23 rods and H22A pistons.
Wait, what motor was it that you are building?

Stock rods and P30 pistons are a good mild 1.8 combination.

Drag racing? Circuit racing?

Track only? Or street and track?

What octane gas is available? What engine management are you using?
